Yang Li didn't bother with dinner and went straight back to her office, where she booted up her computer and began scouring through the literature.
"Eh? Mr. Yang, didn't you go for lunch?" Biochemistry teacher Qin Bo had just finished his class and, on seeing Yang Li, curiously asked.
Although Yang Li was a counselor, she was after all a PhD, so it wasn't possible to always cultivate her as a counselor; therefore, she did quite a lot of experiments, which is why her office was also in the Basic Medical Science Department's research office.
After nodding and smiling in response, "Just checking some information."
"Alright, then I'll be off first."
After Qin Bo left, Yang Li quickly found a few papers that were quite similar in meaning to what Chen Gong had described.
After this review, her eyes widened in astonishment.
Because...
The Carnot Cycle and the forward and reverse Tricarboxylic Acid Cycles were both part of the professional scope of biochemistry.
What does that mean?
Biochemistry belongs to a very broad field.
However, a broad field doesn't mean it sounds impressive; essentially, undergraduate students majoring in biochemistry usually have a hard time finding good jobs, regardless of whether they're from 985 or 211 universities!
Why is that?
Because biochemistry is too expansive!
During the university years, one can only learn an overview, and the real applied professional biochemical disciplines are not even touched upon.
Further education such as pursuing a master's or doctorate, or even further studies is required.
This is a road of no return!
And the question Chen Gong posed pertained exactly to these specialized biochemical concepts.
This discovery caused Yang Li to become increasingly amazed at her impression of Chen Gong.
What kind of student is this?
And all of this...
Took another turn when Yang Li stumbled upon a paper while searching without any particular intention!
Because she really saw a hypothesis in a paper!
"Exploration Hypothesis of the Medical Application of the Carnot Cycle in the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle"
Author: Yang Guangye!
It was a paper by Dean Yang; Yang Li quickly downloaded it and started reading.
Half an hour later...
Yang Li took a deep breath, her eyes full of disbelief.
Because the question Chen Gong had just posed seemed to also be a hypothesis of Dean Yang...
That was how to use the forward and reverse cycle of the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle for clinical research application.
And the key rested in the reverse, which is the Carnot Cycle.
Using the Carnot Cycle to trace back the onset and early signs of a disease, to predict the occurrence of the disease before its onset from the level of molecular biology.
This...
Could this be a question that a student, a sophomore, could think of?
And moreover... he seemed to be trying to propose a hypothesis?!
The so-called hypothesis is a preliminary verification point that must exist before starting a project.
All the framework of the subsequent project then revolves around this hypothesis.
Without a hypothesis, there's no premise for conducting experiments.
And Chen Gong... was it really just a coincidence?
Yang Li swallowed, her heart pounding and her eyes showing an unmistakable shock.
This kid is not ordinary, no… he's not normal!
How could a normal person come up with such ideas?
No, a normal person wouldn't even look at specialized biochemistry books, would they?
Those are already quite difficult during university.
Otherwise, where did the saying "Physiology and Biochemistry, you're bound to fail one" come from?
Yet for Chen Gong...
This is too abnormal!
Yang Li was utterly bewildered!
...
...
[Ding! Abnormal points received: +200;]
Chen Gong was eating when the sudden sound startled him.
This damned system, springing surprises like that, was quite frightening.
But why so many points?
It was the first time Chen Gong had received 200 points.
Who gave them?
If this pace continues, perhaps the difficulty of reaching 10,000 points isn't that high?
Shaking his head, Chen Gong continued to eat, but his mind was still focused on the system tasks.
The task required leveling up to lv2 before the commencement of the academic education.
Although his anatomy skill was already at lv1 (33%), Chen Gong noticed that elevating anatomy required not just books but also hands-on practice, utilizing molds and anatomy models, or manual skills.
As for physiology, Chen Gong lacked some specialized books, which also slowed down the progress. More importantly, there was a physiology class the next day, which did not allow enough time.
Right now, the most suitable subject was biochemistry.
On the level of "Biochemistry."
It's now at 28%, and at this rate, lv2 could be reached the day after tomorrow, which coincidentally is when the biochemistry class is scheduled.
With this in mind, it was the most appropriate choice!
Thinking this, he felt a small sense of anticipation inside.
However, all this was thanks to the two high-quality books that were concise and clear. Even a little train of thought could bring him great gains.
Although the reading threshold was high, often requiring reference to other books to understand, however, there was no denying that the experience gained speed up the learning process.
But "Focusing" was incredibly useful!
If it had been earlier on, there was no way he could have progressed this fast. In the state of focusing, his mental agility and concentration had greatly improved. The only downside was feeling tired and hungry afterwards.
At noon, Chen Gong ate twice his usual amount of food before he comfortably belched.
For the following time, he devoted all his spare time and energy to these two books.
He even wrote down all the key points and questions on paper, including some reflections and hypotheses.
The third day, nine in the morning.
In the library!
Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, Chen Gong almost leapt up in excitement.
[Ding! Congratulations, your Biochemistry skill level has increased to: lv2!]
He had broken through!
With the breakthrough to lv2, the knowledge points he had accumulated over the days began to be reorganized and became more structured and systematic.
This process was just as important as sedimentation and summarizing.
Feeling the deeper understanding of medicine and the human body that biochemistry brought him, Chen Gong felt the thick notebook in his hand was truly worth it!
Furthermore, regarding these two books, Chen Gong actually had quite a few doubts, given the high level of their content.
After breaking through to lv2, Chen Gong clearly felt the weight of these two books.
Right now, it was difficult for him to delve deeper alone, because biochemistry is not just theory, it requires participation in experiments for a clearer understanding.
He now understood what it meant to be fearlessly ignorant!
The value contained in these books was definitely far more than just a few experience points; if he could thoroughly digest them, they could raise his level to professional, or even to a core member!
But for now, it wasn't necessary to continue reading them. Once he filled in his gaps in knowledge, the gains might be greater.
Reading these two books made Chen Gong deeply aware of his deficiencies.
So, it was time to say goodbye for now!
[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the task and received the following rewards: 1. 1000 points; 2. One lottery draw.]
After hearing the sound, Chen Gong couldn't help but become curious.
He wanted to know, what exactly could he win from this lottery draw?
